CNN will be projecting Electoral College results through Election Day. Battleground states are yellow, safe McCain states are dark red, leaning McCain states are light red, safe Obama states are dark blue, and leaning Obama states are light blue. Photo credit: CNN.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Today, CNN unveils the first of many CNN Electoral Maps of the 2008 general election. It is based on analysis from the CNN Political Unit and takes into account a number of factors, including polling, state voting trends, ad spending, candidate visits, and guidance from the campaigns and political strategists.

Monica for Obama in Indiana

This is just getting started. We'll give McCain the lead now, because he is old and to ease his arthritis, we will give him a rocking chair to sit on for now.
"But this year Indiana will go BLUE 'Democrate"
Hillary supporters or not

I love how they left Michigan and Florida as toss up states. Are you kidding me CNN, Michigan and Florida are not going to forget that quickly.

Not sure why people continue to point to Florida as a swing state. McCain has that solidly locked up already. Disinfranchising voters may have helped Obama win the primary but it may have doomed him for the general.

I was going to support Obama but after seeing his extreme views on abortion (supporting partial-birth abortion aka. INFANTICIDE) I am not so sure. I think McCain should go for Palin as his VP, everyone should read up on her. She seems like an amazing woman.

would you people stop saying Hillary won. My god are you people delusional? She was behind in pledge delegates. She was behind and she had no opponent in MI. She lost this election by being negative. You people act like she did nothing wrong. She and Obama agree on 99 percent of the issues. Stop being little babies.

Oregon and Washington are solidly Democratic states. There's no way McCain switches us over here on the LEFT Coast!!!

And Ian how did you come up with you figures? If you give both candidates all the leaning states, McCain has 263. Then give him Florida and he wins. Hardly an encouraging sign for Obama.

I am a very strong Clinton support... But I hope that Obama wins in November..

Obama has no chance against McCain! If KY and TN are “safe” for McCain, then it is over. If McCain wins, KY, TN, he wins OH, MO, then the election. All 4 of the states have decided who would be the president for the past 40 years.
